1.73.0

Breaking Changes ⚠️

Highlights

Welcome to release v1.73.0 of Immich. There are many improvements in this version that you will like. Some of the key highlights include:

• Optimized viewing experience for the Album page.
• Added option to configure the generated thumbnail resolution.
• Added option to toggle visibility of the memory reel.
• Better quality for thumbnails and generated videos.

Optimized viewing experience for the Album page

Thanks to @jrasm91’s contribution to this complex mechanism, the high-performance viewport mechanism from the main timeline is now available on the album Page.

Previously, this page rendered all the photos upon entering the page, which led to high memory consumption on the browser, and if the number of photos was high, the browser could crash. By adopting the main timeline mechanism, the web only renders and shows the photos that are in the viewport, thus significantly increasing performance. Now users with tens of thousands of photos in an album can view them without any hiccups.

Options to adjust the thumbnail’s resolution

You can now adjust the resolution of the small (WebP) and large (JPEG) thumbnails on the administration page on the web.

Option to toggle visibility of Memory feature

Some users find the memory reel on the top of the timeline distracting, and we added a mechanism to toggle it.

You can find the option from the web in Account Settings > Memories

Better quality for thumbnails and generated videos.

Thanks to @mertalev’s hard work on this to find the available and optimal settings for ffmpeg to generate better video quality for HDR content.

You can find the tone-mapping option for HDR encoding content on the web in Administration > Settings > FFmpeg Settings > Tone-mapping

The differences of options can be seen in the PR here
